The French politics in 2013 is characterized by rows and chaos,with divergences emerging within the left-wing government,clashes between the right-wing parties and a rising position of the extreme wings. The poor performance of the “new” Hollande government led to a continuous fall of its popular support. After stagnation in 2012,the economic situation of France recovered slowly since the second quarter of 2013. However,its economic growth was not faring well,especially with unemployment climbing to a record level since 1997. In order to deal with the unemployment issue,the French government has carried out a series of policies. And at the same time,it began to reform the retirement system in order to cut down the huge financial deficit. Sustained protests led by opposition conservatives against gay marriages broke out in 2013,which was one of the largest-scale demonstrations in the recent 30 years. After the breaking out of the Mali Crisis,France launched military interventions against the terrorists in Mali.
